When the World Sleeps (Stories, Words, and Wounds of Palestine)
Through ten powerful personal stories, Francesca Albanese sheds light on the resilience, humanity, and daily realities of Palestinians living under occupation. Drawing from her years of experience in human rights work and firsthand encounters in the region, this compelling book explores themes of justice, identity, displacement, and hope, offering readers an intimate and thought-provoking perspective on Palestine and its people.
Reflecting on her years living in Jerusalem and her personal and professional journey toward understanding the Palestinian struggle, Albanese pays tribute to 10 people whose profoundly affecting stories opened her eyes, like Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces.
When the World Sleeps is a courageous testimony of the harsh reality that Palestinians face. It raises critical questions about the past, present, and future of Palestine- What are the consequences of the occupation? Where is a refugee's home? In what conditions do Palestinians live? And now that the end of the war seems to be getting closer, will there be a Palestinian state? Will Palestinians have the right to self-determination, and will they be able to live in peace, free at last from the coercion of Israel?
